DL 102 set up questions

Vinyl Asylum

Welcome Licorice Pizza (LP) lovers! Setup guides and Vinyl FAQ.

My DL102 cartridge arrived in the mail today and this evening I mounted it on my lenco TT with the SME 3009 II. 33 monos sound great! But this leaves me with a bit of a dilema... I used to have my shure 97xe on the sme arm for stereo, so what do I do now? I have two other arms and a qrk table I could mount the DL102 on; one arm is a vintage argonne oil dampened arm from the fifties. On the Sakuma site they swear this is THE arm to use with the DL102. Has anyone tried this , or with a gray oil dampened?
The other choice is a micro-track 12" arm that came with the qrk table and has a wooden wand. I think it should be able to handle the DL102. Anyone ever used one of these with the DL102?
Last question for anyone using or that has used the DL102... what VTA did you use? Right now I have the wand slanting down toward the table just a little. Sounds pretty good, but wondering if anyone has been through this exercise and can save me some trouble?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
